A Rocha, Climate Change and You

Are you concerned about Climate Change? So are we!

Here are ways we are responding:

As an organization: A Rocha International is sending delegates to COP21 — the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris starting Nov. 30th. Please read more about it and see ways you can raise your voice for the climate here: http://www.arocha.org/en/raise-a-voice-for-the-climate/

As Individuals: We are participating in the Global Climate March — standing shoulder to shoulder with others as we march in cities across the world to show our solidarity and concern for the plight of the planet. Find a march near you: http://globalclimatemarch.org/en/

As Churches: We are joining with Christians around the world in praying for creation and for world leaders to make wise decisions for the health of all. Check out these resources and prayers from our friends over at Citizens for Public Justice: http://www.cpj.ca/prayers-paris

Also check out this wonderful video series which highlights the impact of climate change on the poor in Kenya. It can be shown in churches or just watched at home alone or in small groups: http://www2.crcna.org/pages/osj_climateconversation.cfm
